Hero Mages is a free online game where players command a
band of mighty heroes fighting to control the fate of Papillion. Equipped with
traditional board game elements - a set of dice and a hand of cards representing
magical spells - players must leverage skill, luck, and social politics to
emerge victorious in this exciting battle of turn-based strategy that can be
played from any Flash enabled web browser.

How to Play

Hero Mages is a game of strategy that plays just like a board game. A 13x11
grid represents the field of battle. A roll of dice determines the results of
combat. A deck of cards represents the power of magic.

At the start of the game, each player is dealt a hand of seven cards and
assumes command of a team of 3 heroes consisting of 1 Mage and 2 Guardians.
These heroes are represented on the game board as animated models called
“units”. The concept of the game is simple: players take turns moving and
attacking with each of their units in an effort to eliminate all of the opposing
heroes. The player with the last surviving team of heroes is victorious!

Units possess diverse statistics and abilities that give them distinct
strategic advantages within the game. Your Mage is your most powerful unit. In
addition to having four unlockable special abilities, mages are the only unit
that can cast spells. Spells are potent magical abilities that allow you to
empower your units with strength, unleash the fury of the elements upon your
foes, manipulate the battlefield, and create additional units called
"creatures". Leverage the powers of your units and spells to develop creative
ways to dominate the battlefield.
